My mom had 7 children in 11 yrs of each other. There was always 2 - 3 children in diapers at one time. Those weren't disposable either. We grew up on a farm so life for her was hard. Always farm chores and meals and cleaning for a family of 9. Mom and dad didn't own their own home until they left the farm in their 50's. She was a very ill child and lost her dad, sister and brother while she was in a sanitarium for 3 years with TB. It taught her to hold those dear to her very close and she does just that. She is always there for us. It would be nice to present her with such a wonderful gift. She loves to bake and cook. She taught us to be kind to others and try our best at everything we do. She said to never judge others for their errors without a mirror in your pocket. I thank you for having such a great contest.
